Korg DSS-1 in Good condition

One issue: the "9" button on the num pad does not work! It has no "click" to it. IMO this is a pretty minor annoyance but YMMV.

I tested this and it is working well. I verified all keys, all buttons & sliders, sample creation, and the weird "additive" mode where you draw the waveform with the data slider. All worked correctly without issues.

Minor issues - the plastic top of the joystick is missing. The plastic part of Data Slider A is missing. These issues don't affect functionality, of course. There are some cosmetic scratches on the case, as you will see in the photos.

Power cord included - it's a 2 prong, not a standard IEC cable.

NOTE - updated May 2026. I opened it up, cleaned it out, reattached a floating chassis ground wire, and sprayed all buttons and sliders with contact cleaner. This really improved all the controls but somehow broke the 9 button 🤷🏻‍♂️ I removed a magic marker that was sliding around in there 🫥
